Each year the Washington Post's Style Invitational asks readers to take any
word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing only
one letter and supply a new definition. Here are the 2002 winners:
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you
realize it was your money to start with.
Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting
laid.
Giraffiti: Vandalism painted very, very high.
Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who
doesn't get it.
Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit).
Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad
vibes, right? And then, like, then Earth explodes and it's like, a serious
bummer.
Glibido: All talk and no action.
Dopeer Effect: The tendency for stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come
at you rapidly.
And, the winner of the Washington Post's Style
Invitational:
Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an *******.
